Jeff Koons Moonlights as Future Mayor in ‘Milk’

If the best thing about Milk is Gus Van Sant's direction, and the second best is how he defies Hollywood reality and transforms Sean Penn into a lovable underdog, then this development has to be in the top five (just beneath Emile Hirsch's turn as the original hipster hooker). Apparently making a cameo in this Oscar shoo-in is none other than art titan Jeff Koons. It's hardly ephemeral, as the lobster shiller enjoys veritable minutes of screentime. Furthermore, he's even listed as part of the cast, portraying the future San Francisco mayor. Insert poor metaphor about Milk and lobster bisque here.
